Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1)
(diagnostic socket), under the seat, to which you can
connect a special battery charger (2) (Battery charge

no. 69928471AW (Japan), 69928471AX (Australia),

Remove the connector (1) from the clamp (A) and
connect it to the battery charger (2).

Note Fig 46
The electric system of this model is designed so
as to ensure there is a very low power drain when the 2
motorcycle is off. Nevertheless, the battery features
a certain self-discharge rate that is normal and
depends on ambient conditions as well as on "non-
use" time.
Important
If battery minimum voltage is not ensured by a
suitable battery charge maintainer, sulfation may
occur. This is irreversible and will lead to decreasing
battery performance.
Fig 47

68
When the motorcycle is left unused (approximately
for more than 30 days). We recommend owners to
use the Ducati battery charge maintainer (Battery
maintenance kit) since its electronics monitors the
battery voltage and features a maximum charge
current of 1.5 Ah. Connect the battery maintainer to
the diagnostic socket.
Note
Using charge maintainers not approved by
Ducati could damage the electric system; vehicle
warranty does not cover the battery if damaged due
to failure to comply with the above indications, since
it is considered incorrect maintenance.

Important
Use the side stand to support the motorcycle
only during short stops. Before lowering the side
stand, make sure that the supporting surface is hard
and flat.
Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt

may fall over.
When parking downhill, always position the 2 1
motorcycle with the rear wheel facing downhill. To
pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle Fig 48

and throttle control is open, the message “Close
throttle” is displayed; the new Riding Mode is
confirmed and stored only when throttle control
is closed and then the main screen is displayed.
● If speed is lower than or equal to 3 mph (5 km/h),
throttle control is closed but brakes are
actuated, the message “Release brakes” is
displayed. The new Riding Mode is confirmed
and stored only when brakes are released and
then the main screen is displayed. Fig 80

112
● If both of the above conditions occur, the
message "Close throttle and release brakes" is
displayed. The new Riding Mode is confirmed
and stored only when both conditions are
satisfied and then the main screen is displayed.
If either of the conditions required to validate the
change of Riding Mode are not true within 5 seconds
from activation of one of the above-described
conditions, the procedure will be aborted, the
instrument panel will go back to displaying the main
page and no settings will be changed.

intervention level. Level 8 indicates system
intervention whenever a slight slipping is detected,
while level 1 is for very expert riders because it is less

safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the
obligation to ride responsibly and maintain a high
standard of conduct in accordance with traffic laws
so as to avoid accident or force emergency
maneuvers, whether caused by his own errors or
those of other road users.

 Attention
Using the two brake controls separately
reduces the motorcycle braking power. Never use
the brake controls harshly or suddenly as you may
cause wheel lock-up or rear wheel lift-up and lose
control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or
on slippery surfaces, braking will become less
effective. Always use the brakes very gently and
carefully when riding under these conditions. Any
sudden maneuvers may lead to loss of control. When
tackling long, high-gradient downhill road tracts,
shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one
brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the
brakes applied all the time would cause the friction
material to overheat and reduce braking power
dangerously. Underinflated tires reduce braking
efficiency, handling accuracy and stability in a bend.

If the drive chain is too tight or too slack, adjust
it so that tension reading will fall within specified
range.

Important
Improper chain tension will lead to rapid wear
of transmission parts.
Check the correspondence of the positioning marks
(1) on both sides of the swinging arm to ensure a
perfect wheel alignment. 1

Attention Fig 179

To ensure the best performance and long life of
the chain, please follow the information related to
chain cleaning, lubrication, inspection and
tensioning described in sub-section “Lubricating the
chain”.

196
Lubricating the drive chain
Important 1
Have drive chain cleaned by a Ducati Dealer or
authorized Service Center.
Attention
Carry out these inspection operations with the
engine off, the vehicle at a standstill, on a flat ground 2
and on the stand.
Cleaning
Before proceeding with the chain lubrication it is
important to correctly wash and clean it. 3
The chain cleaning is extremely important for its
duration. In fact, it is necessary to remove any mud,
soil, sand or dirt from the chain first using a soft
damp cloth (1) to soften the most resistant dirt and
then with a jet of water and then dry it immediately 4
using compressed air at a distance of at least 11.81 in
(30 cm).
Checking the chain
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to 5
protect its moving parts from dirt and to hold the
lubricant inside.
Fig 180
197
Check the chain for wear by checking the links at the Have the chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
points indicated (2). or authorized Service Center.
Attention
Avoid the use of steam, fuel, solvents, hard
brushes or other methods that could damage the O-
rings; also avoid direct contact with the battery acid
as it could cause mini cracks in the links as shown in
the figure.
Attention
In particular, in case of Off-Road use of the
bike, it is possible that excessive wear of the links
occurs due to the contact with the chain sliding shoe;
friction could in fact cause the chain to overheat,
altering the heat treatment of the links and making
them particularly fragile.

Checking the sliding shoe

Check the wear of the sliding shoe (3) and, if
necessary, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized
Service Center.
Checking the tension
Check the chain tension (4) as indicated in the sub-
section “Checking the drive chain tension”.

198
Lubrication

Important
Have drive chain cleaned by a Ducati Dealer or
authorized Service Center.
Attention
Use SHELL Advance Chain to lubricate the
chain; the use of non-specific lubricants could
damage the O-rings and therefore the entire drive
system.
It is recommendable to lubricate (5) the chain
without waiting for it to cool down after using the Fig 181
motorcycle, so that the new lubricant can penetrate
better between the inner and outer links and be
more effective in its protective action.
Place the bike on the rear paddock stand. Make the
rear wheel turns fast in the opposite direction to the
direction of travel.

199
Apply the lubricant jet (1) inside the chain between
the inner and outer links, in point (2) immediately
before the engagement point on the sprocket.
Due to the centrifugal force, the lubricant, made
fluid by the solvents contained in the spray, will
expand in the working area between the pin and the
bush, ensuring perfect lubrication.
Repeat the operation by aiming the lubricant jet to 2
the central part (5) of the chain so as to lubricate the 1
rollers (4), and to the outer plates (6) as shown in the
figure.

After lubrication, wait 10-15 minutes to allow the
lubricant to act on the internal and external surfaces
of the chain and then remove the excess lubricant
with a clean cloth.
Important
Do not use the motorcycle immediately after
lubricating the chain as the lubricant, still fluid,
would be centrifuged outwards causing possible
soiling of the rear tire or the rider's footpeg.
Important
Check the chain often, taking care to lubricate
it, as also indicated in the table below: at least every Fig 184
1000 km (621 mi) or more frequently (about every
400 km (248 mi)) when using the bike with high
outside temperatures (40°C) or after long travels on
the highway at high speed.

Changing bulbs
The light units and turn indicators are LED type.
Important
Have the bulbs replaced at a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Center.

202
Aligning the headlight
To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle
upright with the tires inflated to the correct pressure
and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The
motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its
longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at
a distance of 32.8 feet (10 meters).
On the wall or surface, draw a horizontal line at the
same height from the ground as the center of the
headlight and a vertical line aligned with the
longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible,
perform this check in dim light.
Switch on the low beam. The height of the upper Fig 185
limit between the dark area and the lit area must not
be more than 9/10 of the height from the ground of
the headlight center.
Note
The procedure described here is in compliance
with the Italian Standard establishing the maximum
height of the light beam. Owners in other countries
will adapt said procedure to the provisions in force in
their countries.

203
To vertically align the headlight beam, turn the screw
(1).
Attention
The headlight might fog up if the vehicle is
used under the rain or after washing. Switch
headlight on for a short time to dry up any
condensate.

It is possible to make a further adjustment by turning
the screw (2), for which it is necessary to contact a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center. After
this last operation, it is necessary to check the

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1)
on the clutch cover.
Oil level should be between the marks on the sight
glass. If the level is low, top up with engine oil.
Ducati prescribes the only use of SAE 15W-50/JASO
MA2 oil and recommends the use of Shell Advance

Recommendations concerning oil
It is recommended to use oil complying with the
following specifications:
● viscosity grade SAE 15W-50.
SAE 15W-50 is an alphanumerical code identifying
oil class based on viscosity: two figures with a W
("winter") in-between; the first figure indicates oil
viscosity at low temperature; the second figure
indicates its viscosity at high temperature.

These data are always of a technical nature and are
used to detect and correct faults and optimize
vehicle functions.
During service operations such as repairs,
maintenance activities, operations under warranty,
and quality assurance, service network personnel
(including manufacturers) can read this technical
information from the event and fault data memory
using special diagnostic tools. Once the fault has
been eliminated, it is possible to progressively
delete or overwrite the information in the fault
memory.
Vehicle data are collected as a result of a service
requested by the Customer or provided under a
contract (on the vehicle).
Within the scope of these services, personal data are
processed in compliance with current legislation on
data protection, based on a legitimate interest of
Ducati to ensure increasingly efficient assistance,
and finally to comply with legal obligations (e.g.
information obligations on repairs and
maintenance). If necessary, personal data are read
and used in combination with the vehicle
identification number.
Our control units do not collect geolocation data.

214
Vehicle transport
Before transporting the motorcycle using another
vehicle, follow the safety instructions below.
● Remove all loose objects and accessories from
the vehicle.
● Align the front wheel straight in the riding
direction and lock it properly to prevent any
movement.
● Engage the first gear.
● Use the anchoring straps and apply them to
strong components (e.g. frame) and NOT to the
handlebar (or handlebars, where present) or to
components that could break (e.g. handgrips, Fig 190
rear-view mirrors, etc.).
● The straps or ropes must NOT rub against any
painted motorcycle components.
● The suspensions, if possible, must be in a
partially compressed position so as to allow less
movement of the vehicle with respect to the
road surface during transport.

Do NOT attach the ropes to the handlebar.
